Email triage
Sort incoming mail by priority and draft replies for human approval.
How to set it up
- Export or forward a day of email to your AI tool (or connect Gmail/Outlook through an agent tool).
- Give it four buckets: Urgent, Reply, Read later, Archive, with one example sender for each.
- Ask for a sorted list plus draft replies only for the Reply bucket.
Copy-paste starter prompt
Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or any agent tool. Replace the parts in brackets.
Sort these emails into Urgent, Reply, Read later, or Archive. Urgent means a person is waiting on me today. For each Reply email, write a short draft in my voice. Do not send anything. List the emails as: bucket, sender, subject, one-line reason.
Keep a human in the loop
Never let the agent send or delete mail on its own. Drafts only.
Who it is for
People in the Productivity niche who want one job handled by an AI agent without building a platform from scratch.
